Difficult to use the phone in bright sunlight -> need for black/white and or hight contrast ambiance

I am working in Tanzania bringing my long awaited new Jolla phone back after Christmas vacation. Unfortunately I have had to revert back to my trustworthy Nokia N9 for daily use, because the Jolla phone in many situations is almost impossible to use in bright outdoor light. The nice color variations in for example the People app, makes it impossible to distinguish between two contacts with the same first name, because I cannot read the last name, which is shown with a darker color and lower brightness. I admit it looks nice indoor, but that is not good to me when I cannot see what I need to see in bright sunlight. I have experimented with all the preloaded Jolla ambiances using highest back light setting and tried to create my own using bright photos, but in vain.

A solution could be if Jolla would create a Black & White/High contract ambiance for these situations, which shows all text in bold and in one color only being either white on black background or black on white background.

I hope the Jolla team can find time in their busy schedule to create such an ambiance and make it available either in the store or on the website as download. Other than that I thank the team for its hard work and brilliant phone OS.
